Reply to comment by buried_lede in ConnCAT Dixwell apartments by buried_lede

We've added like 5,000 people since the last census. These people mostly still would have come here with 1,000 less units otherwise. The rent situation could be way worse

There is too little housing of every type - there is no arguing there, single families, 2-3 families, apartment complexes. There isn’t a category in the state that isn’t far short of demand.

I couldn’t find a solid report on number of new units after a quick look ( I’m sure there is one somewhere) but just skimming news articles, 1000 is low, it looks more like 1000 a year
